Ultimately when people are ignorant about something because they know nothing of it they tend to express only what they assume and that usually ends up being negative or way off.

People only make these comments when they think someone else is weak and walks with their head down. These comments only matter when they're real...usually it's kids who had few friends and joined a glo for friends and parties that it gets to. If you're not one of those let it be known...use the ever classic "Take two steps back and step out of my arse" and let them do what they want and you do what you want.

i also don't think that there is much that can be said to people who think Greek life is about paying for friends. i think this attitude comes mostly from people who never experienced the system. i even admit that i had it when i started college, but meeting the women in my sorority and getting involved in Greek life on campus overall changed my views. i think only participation in an organization can truly make someone see this differently.

My sentiments exactly. I did not join AKA for the social benefits. I believed in the purpose and ideals of the sorority. Now, that I am a soror, I have met many wonderful women that I do consider friends. But, that's just the icing on the cake!

I told someone once "If you think we pay for our friends, why don't you come take a look at our checkbook balance sometime." They asked "why's that," and I replied "Cause if we pay for our friends then we would have a heck of a lot more money in our check book than this little bit we do have." They didn't respond.

One of the reasons I did join was looking for a group of girls that I could develop great friendships with. And I have. I honestly have better friendships with my sisters than I do with my friends that are non-greek.
If you want to think that I have paid for my friends...then go right ahead.
Cause in the end, I know who has my back.
